Dear Humphrey family,
I was so very sorry to learn of Anna's death. Knew her since high school when we would all gather at the 12th Street Peoples Drug Store. Got to know her lots better when we bowled together years ago. Kept in touch through Rose O'Tremba on my many visits back to the area.

Anna was a one-of-a-kind person - so upbeat and giving and fun to be with. I know you will all miss her terribly, as will her legions of friends. Please know that she will be remembered in our prayers and hearts forever.

Hugh & Family, In the journey of life some people leave a mark so deep that it becomes hard to forget them. Anna Mae was one of those people. She always made Barry and I feel like we were part of her family. We have so many fond memories, especially when we were all together in Reddington Beach several years ago. We will treasure those memories forever. May you and your family find peace and love in the memories you cherish. With heartfelt condolences, your friends,Mary & Barry Jarboe

Mr Humphrey, I am so saddened by the sudden loss of your best friend and devoted wife. I will never forget how she opened her home and her heart to me so many years ago. My memories of her as a vibrant, fun, beautiful woman with amazing energy that would light a room will stay with me forever. I have enjoyed watching the special bond that you both have shared through the years. You will never know how much I have learned from you and how much you have touched my life. For that, I am so grateful and thank you so much. Love always,

What a great loss for all of us but especially for your family. Anna Mae was such a wonderful loving friend and she touched so many hearts. We will never forget how her humor could light up a room. Can you imagine all of the bent angle wings in heaven from all of her hugs? She is now walking the streets of Gold and will always be an angle sitting on your shoulder until you meet again. Our hearts and prayers are with all of you at this very sad time! Love Carol and Joe Foley

Jerri Ann and Family, I'm so sad to hear the news. I'm glad you had your Mom for the time you did (I was 16) and I'm sure you'll cherish all the memories. Mary Lynn and I were reminiscing about saying how beautiful and fun she was. Always a smile and a laugh. You all are in our family's prayers. xoxo Julie Weaver

Dear Hugh and Family,
Can't believe we won't be playing cards again. We had such fun in Adelphi with our all night games back in the good old St. Mark's days. She helped me so much in running the Christmas bazzars. Us Turkey Point people will sorely miss her. She was such a funny, fun filled lady. Peace be with all of you. Jo Izaguirre, Turkey Point

To the Humphrey Family,

It is with sincere sympathy & condolences that I know and understand your pain. A loss of family is never something we want to experience. However, you have the hope of seeing them once again as Christ himself promised at John 5:28 "when those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.." May you stay strong til that time comes.

Your Christian Neighbor,
